Love at first sight? It’s so not happening for Morgan. Never mind that her two best friends, who are both up to their eyeballs in happily ever after, are playing matchmaker. She wants out of her worst blind date ever—and her “out” abruptly finds her when she’s knocked out cold walking into a door.

One look into the eyes of the beautiful woman with the gash on her head, and paramedic Evan Marshall is a goner. Professional ethics say hands off the patient. Once her stitches are out, though, he can’t resist the impulse to ask her out. As their first date flares into a white-hot affair, he feels it in his bones—she’s the one.

Evan’s everything Morgan could ever want in a man, but things are happening way too fast. She made that mistake once before and, certain this relationship is careening down the same road to heartbreak, she slams on the brakes.

To her surprise, Evan lets her go. And by the time she realizes she just let her one chance at happily ever after slip away, it could be too late...

Are you in the mood for something romantic yet sexy? Then Karen Erickson’s Simple Twist of Fate might be exactly what you’re looking for.

The story begins with Morgan, a woman who wants love but can’t seem to find it. A bad date and an accident will send her into the care of the luscious paramedic Evan Marshall. The instant their eyes meet, sparks fly. It’s chemistry that’s off the charts, which is why the story works so beautifully. He’s someone she can’t forget and vice versa. Fans of immediate attraction, you-are-the-one stories are sure to love this novella. The reader is swept into their desire for each other, their passion. However, each has insecurities and doubts they’ll have to overcome to find their happily ever after. The intimate scenes sizzle, which fans of Ms. Erickson have come to expect. And although the conflict feels slightly forced, it’s not enough to deter the reader from enjoying the progression of the work, or take away from the affinity developed for the characters.

Fans of contemporary erotic romances are sure to enjoy Simple Twist of Fate. If you haven’t read the previous books in the Fated series, it’s not necessary to do so in order to appreciate this story. Ms. Erickson has a knack for breathing life onto the page, forcing readers to keep on turning until The End.

RATING EXPLANATION:

1 Star -- At this time, we at Whipped Cream do not post these reviews. If the book was boring, badly edited, poorly written, had little or no plot, stilted dialogue, and/or unsympathetic characters, we will decline the review.

2 Stars -- Not wonderful, but tolerable. There may be some minor editing glitches but not enough to stop you reading. Not a wall-banger, but nothing you'd re-read. This is a book you would borrow from the library - not buy- and never check out again.

3 Stars -- Good. Mostly enjoyable. You made it through and didn't consider it a waste of time or money. The story was strong enough or the conflict tight enough, so even when the book faltered, it was able to draw you back in and keep you. There's a chance you'll recommend it to a friend, but it wouldn't go on your keeper shelf.

4 Stars-- Very Good. You're glad you were the one who got to review this book. You would probably buy it and would definitely recommend it to your friends. You liked the characters and the plot. The writing style was good and the editing clean.

5 Stars -- Great! You would definitely buy this book. You would definitely recommend it to your friends. You really loved the characters and the plot and would consider looking for this authors back list or making her an autobuy. The writing and editing were superb.

WC Best Book - For a book or story that is truly exceptional. You think about it when you're not reading it. You wonder what happens to the characters when you finish. You would absolutely buy everything else this author had to offer. The highest praise - and reserved for only a few.
